My mother was very familiar with her neighborhood, but one day she stopped at the stop sign and she wasn't even really sure where she was at.

When something feels different, it could be Alzheimer's. Now is the time to talk.

A message from the Alzheimer's Association and the Ad Council. Hey I'm Veronica Dagger and this is the Wall Street Journal Secrets of Wealthy Women

where women share how they tackle career, money, and the world. Today we're going

to revisit a conversation we had last fall with former Alberto Culver Executive Chairman

Carol Avon Bernick. We spoke to Carol then about how she ran her family's

business, eventually guiding it through its 3.7 billion dollar acquisition by Unilever. We'll hear more

about that in just a minute. But first we have an update. After that sale

Carol became more committed to her work as a philanthropist through the Lab and Family Foundation.

We checked in with her recently to see how things have been going during the pandemic.

She told us that back in March, she and her kids were worried

about how local businesses were struggling and at the same time how many people

were going hungry. So they got in touch with one of their favorite restaurants and worked with

a local church to deliver 100 pizzas three times a week. That program grew into the Lab and

Family Foundation's feed It Forward Initiative.

To date, they've committed over $3 million to more than 40 non-profits.

Carol estimates they've helped provide more than 300,000 meals so far.

That's the kind of entrepreneurial and innovative thinking that helped Carol grow Alberto Culver.

So we'd like to share Carol's Encore episode with you. Carol Grove Alberto Culver.

So we'd like to share Carol's Encore episode with you about what it's like to work with

your parents, take over their billion dollar business, and teach your own kids the importance

of giving back.
